A study on the Analysis of Trends and Evaluation of the OECD International Indicators of Education Systems (INES)

本研究的主要目的是收集经合组织国际教育系统指标（INES）项目正在开发的一套指标的信息和材料，并分析国际学生评估计划（PISA）采用的框架、方法和程序以及PISA 2000调查的结果。在本研究项目的最后一年2002财政年度，编写了最终报告，从整体上审查了INES的背景、成果、影响、意义和进一步问题。主要结果如下：(a)自1980年代以来，许多国家越来越期望制订教育指标，以便通过跨国比较确定和分析本国教育制度的优缺点。(b)由于国家教育政策体系项目的国际可比性增加，已设法制订了许多与国家教育政策有关的指标，因此经合发组织成员国认为该项目非常值得投资，特别是国际学生评估项目是国家教育政策体系中最引人注目的项目之一。(c)另一方面，许多国家认为仍有必要进一步概念化、分析和发展评价“能力”的方法。(d)定期提供关键趋势指标以了解这一期间成果的变化的要求没有得到满足，因为有制定新指标的压力。此外，最终报告还研究了在PISA 2000结果公布后，PISA对日本和德国的影响。PISA 2000的结果被用于改善各自的教育系统，PISA得到了参与国的高度赞赏。

The main purposes of this study were to collect information and materials on a set of indicators being developed by the OECD International Indicators of Education Systems (INES) Project, and to analyze the framework, methods and procedures adopted for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the outcomes of the PISA 2000 survey.In the fiscal year 2002, the last year of this research project, the final report was produced which examined the INES as a whole such as its background, outcomes, impacts, significance and further issues. The main results are as follows :(a) Since the 1980's there has been an increased expectation among many countries for developing educational indicators in order to identify and analyze advantages and disadvantages of their own education systems through cross-national comparison.(b) Because the INES project has managed to develop many indicators relevant to national education policy as a result of their increased international comparability, the OECD Member countries believe that the project is well worth investing, especially PISA is one of the most remarkable projects in INES.(c) On the other hand, many countries feel that there is still a need for further conceptualization, analysis and development of evaluation methods of "competence".(d) The demand for making key trend indicators available on a regular basis to understand the change of the outcomes over the period has not been met because of the pressure to develop new indicators.In addition, the final report examined the impact of PISA in both Japan and Germany after the release of the PISA 2000 outcomes. The results of PISA 2000 were used for improving their respective education systems and PISA is highly appreciated by the participating countries.
